The USFA Western Washington Division presents
The 2018 Battle in Seattle
January 27-28, 2018
at Rain City Fencing Center in Bellevue, WA

The Battle in Seattle is the Western Washington Division's largest annual event, drawing fencers from all over the country. As part of the Regional Open Circuit (ROC), the Battle offers fencers the opportunity to earn points towards qualifying for the Division I-A events at Summer Nationals.

The top 40% of finishers in each event will earn Division I-A ROC points. Veteran fencers that compete in these events will automatically qualify for the corresponding veteran event at Summer Nationals.

All tournament fees must be pre-paid on AskFRED. Registration fees are non-refundable. For refunds of event fees, use the refund form on http://www.wwdfencing.com. Refunds must be requested within two weeks following the event.

All fencers must be current competitive members of the USFA. You may join or renew your USFA membership at the door. Foreign fencers must be members of their nation's fencing federation or possess an FIE license, AND they must have a USFA membership number (which can be obtained for free at usafencing.org)
